1. Interactions between surfactants and starch : from starch granules to amylose solutions
Abstract : Starch is a mixture of two polysaccharides, amylose (AM) and amylopectin, which occurs naturally in the form of microscopic granules that are abundantly found in tubers, roots, cereal grains and fruits. In order to bring out their functional properties as thickeners and texture enhancers, starch granules are often disrupted by heating in excess water. READ MORE

2. Starch stabilized Pickering emulsions : Colloidal starch particles and their effects on emulsion properties
Abstract : Particles can be used to stabilize multi-phase systems known as Pickering emulsions. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how starch particles affect emulsion properties. Starch granules were used individually as well as in binary mixtures. READ MORE

3. Starch Pickering Emulsions : Process and Encapsulation Stability
Abstract : The emulsion stabilization functionality of surfactants and biopolymers can be replaced by solid particles adsorbed at the interface, where they create a category of emulsions known as Pickering emulsions. Recently, health and environmental concerns have led to new market demand for natural, biodegradable and renewable sources of ingredients. READ MORE

4. Short-Chain Fatty Acid Starch Stabilized Pickering Emulsions : Design, Properties and Applications
Abstract : Pickering emulsions are emulsions stabilized by solid particles. Particles with optimal dual wettability toward both of the oil and water phases, can be adsorbed onto the interface, thereby providing the stability of the emulsions. READ MORE

5. The Challenges of Analyzing the Molecular Properties of Starch
Abstract : Both the nutritional and functional properties of starch are directly influenced by the molecular structure of its polymers: amylose and amylopectin. It is therefore important to have reproducible methods for quantifying the molecular size. READ MORE
